Jinhao Moka fountain pen series



The Moka's surprising shape and posting method are reminiscent of two other pens that come to mind, the Monteverde/Walt Disney Sleeping Beauty, and the Montblanc Marlene Dietrich. I've read that Montblanc designed the contoured shape to be reflective of Ms. Dietrich's figure and signature trouser suits. As you can see from a web search for prices, the Moka is available for a miniscule fraction of the cost of those two pens (on Montblanc's website for instance, I've seen their pen listed for $935.00...and it only takes cartridges!)

Two new colors from Private Reserve



Ebony Brown joins Ebony Blue, Ebony Green and Ebony Purple...for a darker version of each color.

Speaking of darker, I think that Vampire Red qualifies...on more than one level!

As I wrote when submitting it, "A wise Centaur from the Harry Potter series, he sides with humans and helps Professor Dumbledore -- against his own kind -- to resist Voldemort. Dumbledore rewards him by appointing him Divination instructor, as Centaurs observe the larger movements of the stars and "watch the skies for great tides of evil or change that are sometimes marked there."
